Description: Children who love teddy bears, love music, and love bright colors will surely love the Teddy Xylophone. Teddy has movable arms that stike a 5-note xylophone when the toy is pulled. Teddy can hit all 5 notes with his mallots to play a merry tune. Teddy was originally sold with a circus hat and shirt, but in 1949 he was redesigned as a naked teddy bear - my goodness!
